q . what is covered under the labor plan?
a . the labor protection plans cover the cost of the labor associated
with mechanical and electrical repairs. parts are typically covered by
the manufacturer’s warranty. it is important to read your equipment
limited parts warranty to understand the length of the term.
q . what is not covered?
a . any repairs due to damage or
incorrect installation of equipment;
non-electrical/mechanical items,
required maintenance or any overtime
charges for a covered mechanical
repair. see terms and conditions for
more detail.
q . are there any coverage limits?
a . a list of most limitations is located on the back page of the
brochure.
q . can i transfer this agreement if i sell my home?
a . yes, for a minimal charge of $25 within 30 days of the closing of
the sale of your home.
your heating and cooling system is the most expensive appliance in your home to replace, but new systems offer the
benefit of better efficiency and comfort than older systems. with the appropriate annual maintenance, your new system
can provide years of comfort and performance.
but as good as your new equipment is, problems can occur requiring service to the unit. with a contractors’ preferred
protection plan you can protect yourself from unexpected, unbudgeted repair fees. while your equipment may feature a
long parts warranty, it does not cover the cost of labor to service and replace a failed part. this is why we recommend
a contractors’ preferred protection labor plan, which helps cover unexpected labor cost associated with a repair.
the contractor labor costs can vary $75 to $150 an hour, on average, in north america. so while your part may be
covered, a consumer can always expect to pay out-of-pocket cost for labor associated with repairs. investing in a labor
coverage plan can help you avoid unexpected costs during this time. and considering the average cost of a system
repair, the cost of a labor protection plan can pay for itself in a single repair.

q . who is eligible to apply?
a . you are eligible to apply as long as you have purchased and had installed
your hvac equipment from a contractors’ preferred protection plan contractor
within 12 months.
q . what is the difference between a maintenance (service) agreement
and a labor protection plan?
a . a maintenance plan focuses on annual service to keep your system
performing at peak condition, such as proper cleaning and checking
refrigerant levels and component wear and tear. a labor protection plan
is designed to cover the cost of labor associated with system repairs
only. most warranties include language that requires proof of annual
maintenance, especially as equipment ages and upkeep becomes a
factor in reliability. maintenance/service plans are a great option for
consumers who do not have the time, or may not remember to do the
basic annual maintenance.
q . what if i’m not satisfied?
a . you may cancel this agreement for any reason during the first 30 days after
it is issued to obtain a full refund of the purchase price. after the first 30 days
you may cancel this agreement and receive a pro-rated refund based on the
time remaining on your plan, plus an administrative fee, less the value of any
services or claims that have been provided or paid.
